the B6, YFIELD bugle
Historical Society year a success
The annual meeting of
the -$, yfield Historical
Society' was held in the
Municipal Building on
Wednesday, January 10
at 2 p.m. The attendance
was good considering the
'absenteeism' which
affects Bayfield at this
time of year.
This was the first year
of the Society under its
new constitution as an
independent
organization. Annual
reports showed that it
had been a successful
vei'ture. Mary Shepherd,
membership convener,
reported 94 members in
1978 and the treasurer
Jim Garrett, gave the
bank balance $785.88. His
report was audited by
r .lie Hovey.
The secretary covered
the proceedings of the
year in a thorough
fashion - fortunately as
many of Jilt, conveners
were absent.
The archivist, Dorothy
Cox, was present,
however, and her report
was the highlight of the
meeting. She told of the
many valu-able
acquisitions such as the
Tudor Marks' papers
donated by Myrtle
Robinson, the Dr. Ninian
Woods records purchased
from Lorne Sparks, the
records of the Bayfield
Agricultural Society and
Kelvin Jervis' gift of an
enlargement of the Main
Street of the village over
a century ago. An 1878
certificate-'• awarded by
the Bayfield Fair to Jean
Clarke's father is a prized
gift from her.
The retiring president
thanked those who had
contributed to a very,
successful year with
particular reference . to
Kay. Reid, who retires as
secretary, for her ex-
cellent minutes and her
'good companionship' on
the several trips to
conferences and annual
meetings of the Ontario
Historical Society.,
She also expressed the
thanks of the Society to
the archivist Dorothy
Cox, who, with the help of
other members has made
the Bayfield Archives
room a treasure trove of
Bayfield records. Many
-Additions have been
made to the valuable
collection begun by the
former archivist, Ethel
Poth. Researchers • into
Bayfield history and -or
their own family records
are sure to find help in
our archives.
Dorothy -Hovey
presented the report of
the nominlating_...,,com-
mittee in the absence of
chairman Vivian Morton.

1979 are: president, Dr.
G. %H. Shepherd; vice-

driving weather for their
Thursday trip to London
for the Theatre London
presentation of the
controversial play
"Otherwise Engaged",
which won the New York
Drama Critic Circle
Award for the best play
on Broadway in 1976. At
their customary coffee
and bun session at the
'Knotty Pine' on the way
home • afterwards,
needless to say there
were differing opinions
expressed, but all agreed
that the acting was of the
highest order.
All church services -
were cancelled on Sunday
as bad weather with high
winds, heavy snowfalls
and ,, drifting made
travelling difficult, if not
impossible.

.heavers hold
hobo hi-jinks
The Beavers were
huddled around a make-
believe campfire, hobo
fashion in hobo outfits
when I called last
Tuesday evening. They
Were waiting to eat their
pork and beans out of tin
cans, but insisted on
having them heated in the
kitchen first - personally 1
don't blame them.
One hobo, larger than
the others, with his foot
half out of the hole in his
sock just happened to
have his guitar there, and
they were whiling away
the time with 'Old
Macdonald' and other old vv
time favorites while thZiy
waited for The beans.
The scene reminded me
of . the e>iperience of my
kids many years ago
when they were on one of
their many expeditions
up the Bayfield River.
Their can of beans ex-
ploded and flew off the
campfire over their
heads' and into the river,
which explained why they
came home starving!
There was always some
excuse!
